TO FORGIVE OR NOT TO FORGIVE
That is the question. I'm a Scouser with Scottish, Irish & Gypsy blood. That's not a question I need to ask myself. I will hold a grudge for this life and the next. I will curse your children and your children's children.

...for more well adjusted, emotionally mature and even spiritually evolved beings, forgiveness is divine. With that in mind, I NEED you all to watch this @jimmy_dore segment featuring an incredibly moving statement by @joerogan and also extremely powerful words by Jimmy himself.
For those of us who managed to retain our senses & memory of high school level immunological scientific principles & for whatever reason were immune to the #MassFormation #MassHypnosis & #MassPsychosis #CoronaPanic phenomenon, we were maligned by not only casual acquaintances...
Time to start a regular Friday #ClimateRocks thread. Songs I've been listening to over the last few years that address climate change in some way. First up has to be...
Seasons End by #Marillion. Incredibly, it was written in 1988 - the first I ever heard climate change referenced in a song. Love the guitar solo, but the lyrics are what makes this truly sublime: "We'll tell our children's children why..."
There's also a reference to the ozone hole there:
"We grew so tall and reached so high
We left our footprints in the earth
And punched a hole right through the sky"
"We grew so tall and reached so high
We left our footprints in the earth
And punched a hole right through the sky"

More on #Rogan, #Spotify blah blah blah
Where were we?
Oh yes. Cancel culture. It’s not real.
No one has lost their livelihood or been denied a livelihood due to an unruly Internet mob.

Can folks sometimes rush to judgment without having all the facts? Sure.
But what is usually labeled #cancelculture is just the hard fact of accountability in a society. Of their being repercussions for bad acts, and yes, for bad speech.
It’s a good thing.

Back to being open to opposing viewpoints and the theory that the best response to speech we disagree with being counter-speech, more speech, robust debate.
I used to believe that was always the case. I believed it when I graduated from Law School.

It’s been both frustrating and fascinating to watch the Spotify/Joe Rogan/Neil Young story and the discussions around it wind it’s way through our society.
So many critically important and complex social, cultural, and legal issues are crammed up in there:

COVID, vaccines and anti-vaxxers, what to do about disinformation, tensions between (lower case) free speech and public health or other concerns, how or whether we assess racist or sexist or homophobic speech on private platforms;

Good for @Spotify standing up against #bullying. This is an important gesture on #BellLetsTalk day.
Unfortunately @NeilYoung has decided to leave. It’s his right to control his own music. It’s not his right to censor another entertainer and artist, @JoeRogan
My tribute to Neil:

If you give them this, they’ll takeaway that
And once it’s gone, you can never get it back
Hold the line, #freedom’s under attack

Undercover Organism is an electronic jam fusion band out of Milwaukee. If you like STS9 or The New Deal, you will like UCO.

<Intermède> Comme je l'ai déjà posté il y a quelques mois, tout est parfait dans ce passage- la façon dont il capte à 26 ans l'attention du public, dont il l'embarque AVANT le morceau et après...que dire? Rien, juste écouter☺️. #NeilYoung #HeartofGold
#LastTweet Allez, petit quiz culture US mythique: qui fait les choeurs féminins dans la version studio de #HeartofGold ? Indice: elle a la 1ère donné à son compagnon d'alors, le gouverneur de Californie Jerry Brown, le surnom de "Moonbeam" (rayon de Lune)
Bravo à tous, la seule et unique Linda Ronstadt, sans doute l'une des stars US majuscules (10 Grammy) les plus méconnues de ce côté-ci... et quelle tessiture... 🥰😍 Ca aussi, c'est du nanan...
